AN ANIMATED DEBATE.
Stirring Discussion among the
knights of Labor.

knights of Labor.
MNNEAPoLIs, October 14.-Details
of the secret session OF Knights of
Labor assembly on Thursday after
noon have just leaked out to show
that one OF the liyeliest discussions of
the convention was INDUCED in. The
committee on boycotts introduced a
resolution favoring the action of Mas
ter Workman Powderly and the Exc
cutive Board in declaring the big
Chicago stockyard strike off. Some
of the delegates from districts "a and
27 of Chicago had come here with a
feeling of bitterness against Powderly
and all of the Executive Board except
Barry. They offered to substitute a
resolution roundly ycensuring the action
of the General Master Workman and
the Executive Board. Charles
f. Seib and Geo. f. Schilling made
vehement speeches sustaining the
substitute and roundly scoring Pow
derry. They claimed that the action
of Powderly had defeated the purpose
of the strikers. Barry in his remarks
stated that he thought that the men
would have gained their point with
out any expense to the order and
would have been successful had they
been allowed to stay out. Mr.. Pow
derly took the floor and went over the
matter from beginning to end. He
made statement that the action of
the executive board was advised by
him and if there was any blame in
the matter it belonged to him. Yeas
and nays were called and the sub
stitute. was lost. The committees
resolution was then passed by ia to

DEPEW,S DENIAL.
He Says that his Remarks Were
HIiSinterpreted.

CLEVELAND, Ohio, October IA
Chauncey M. Depew arrived in. this
city this evening with Vanderbilt on
an inspecting tour. He was shown a
dispatch which has been widely circu-
lated as an interview with him in st.
Louis, in which he was quoted as pre-
dieting that a terrible financial panic
is about to overtake the country. This
dispatch was used with very good eff
feet in Wall street by the bears to-day.
Mr.. Depew sal that the Associated
Press representative who interviewed
him in st. Louis had totally failed to
catch the drift of his remarks. He
had spoken somewhat disparagingly OF
the land speculation fever, and said
that he thought the railroad construc-
ton in the Northwest this season was
ahead of the country's requirement,
"but," he added, "there is no more
danger of a panic than there is of an
earthquake in this depot"

PLUCKY PROCEEDINGS.
A Ilail.Agent's Nerve Averts a
Train Robbery.

Ell PAso, October 14.-The Calves
ton, Harrisburg and San Antonio mail
and express which left here this even
ing was stopped four miles east of the
city by three masked men. While
two covered the engineer and fireman
with their revolvers, the third ran
back to the mail car and threw a
bomb against the door. An eXplo-
sion which shattered the door and side
of the car into splinters resulted.
The agent was dazed and badly fright
enei by the shock but uninjured. He
recovered himself enough, however,
to pour charge from double e-bar
relied shotgun into the breast of
robber who had jumped into the car,
killing him instantly. The two men
on the engine, hearing the report, fled,
the mail agent firing the remaining
load after them. The train then re-
turned to Eel Paso and remained until
morning

EASTERN EVENTS.
Annual Report of Commits
sioner Sparks.
LAND QUESTIONS DISCUSSED
From Yellow Fever
in FlOrida-Brawl Among
the Knights of Labor.

Associated Press Dispatches to the Herald,
WASHINGTON, October 14.-Com-
missioner Sparks annual report shows
that since March 4, 1885, 81 1924, 4SO
acres have been restored to the public
domain. The sales, entries and Sc
lections for the fiscal year ending
June 80, 1887, embrace 25,l11 400
acres, and of Indian land, 746,60
acres, making Il total of 25, ,S5S 900,
an increase over 1886 OF 3,733 400
acres, and an increase of 4,S62 800
compared with the fiscal year OF 1885.
Receipts from the disposals OF pub
lie lands amount to $40, 900.
and from sales of Indian lands ST.
4S4 800, total of $12 ,26S 200, and in
crease over 1856 of $3,237, 700, and
compared with the fiscal year 1885,
So ,64S 600, to which is to be added
$50, 800 for timber depredations and
$12,5 500 for certified copies of record,
making the total receipts from all
sources $13, 100000.
FRAUDULENT ENTRIES.
In Arizona frauds in favor of the
Atlantic and Pacific railway in block
of land so by 100 miles, by which
the road is given all the good land ,are
alleged by the Surveyor-General
in his report to the commission.
OTHER INSTANCES.
Stories of fraudulent work also come
from New Mexico, Nevada and Wy
oming. The inspection OF all the
preceding surveys, fully justifies the
conclusions reached by this office, to
defer the payment of accounts for past
SURVEYS until the true character OF
the work shall be ascertained.
SWAMP LANDS.
Claims under swamp land grants
have already reached the enormous
amount of nearly 77,500,000 acres
Investigations during the past yeal
have demonstrated the fact that many
swamp land claims are fraudulent.
A GOOD SHOWING.
As the result of the years investi'
cation 2312 enties, covering about
$40, 900 acres were held for cancella-
tion and 1853 entries, covering about
100000 acres, cancelled for fraud
This subject the Commissioners pur
sues at some length. The entries, ol
general cessation of fraud, cannot be
expected so long as the facilities Of
fered for its perpetuation by the exist
ing laws are so great and the means
provided for it's prevention so small.
LAWS OF SETTLEMENT.
Actual residence, improvement and
cultivation for the Homestead period
of five years should be an exclusive
condition for the acquiring title to such
lands. 1t would also appear that the
time has arrived when the privilege OF
appropriating public lands should be
confined to the citizens of the United
States. The mineral laws should be
SO amended as to preserve the public
right of mineral explorers to citizens
of the United States, and to prevent
the monopoly of native mineral wealth
by individuals and corporations.

my intentions in regard to the for
felted bond of d. J. Creighton, | would
say that as l am informed by my
counsel am under no legal liability
whatever on that bond. We are sure
ties for the appearance OF Creighton
at his trial. We performed all our
undertakings when we produced him
before the court and jury for trial, and
after his conviction the responsibility
which we had assumed as sureties up
to that time was transferred to the
Hon. J. A. Sullivan, Judge of the Su-
perior Court, whom the tax
payers of this county elected
to protect their rights and to see
that no felon escaped, and if by
any act Of the judge--whether occur
ring through carelessness or negli-
gence, or by any other reason, the
criminal duly convicted of one of the
most infamous crimes known to law,
has been permitted to escape, we do
not believe that either in law or in
equity we should be compelled to pay
for his negligence. l am ready at all
times to pay any legitimate obligation
which may be held against me, but
l must decline to permit myself to be
mulcted in any such sum as the pen
atty of Creighton's bond, by reason OF
the carelessness and recklessness OF
one of the men whom the people of
this state have trusted to protect them
and their property in all emergencies.
(Signed) JOHN L. HILL"
ACTION WILL BE COMMENCED.
Counsel for the city to-day replied
to the above, stating that he is salts
fled that Hill and others are legally
liable as sureties and an action to re-
cover will be instituted at once.

A Faulty Pistol Prevents "a Prob
able Murder

SACRAMENTO, October 14.-This af-
ternoon an encounter took place be-
tween Heary A. Caulfeld and Ex-
Justice of the Peace William Henley,
the result of an old feud. Caulfeld
attempted to strike Henley when the
latter hit him several hard blows
on the head with a cane, causing the
blood to run down in streams. Caul-
field rushed into hardware store and
grabbed up pitchfork and attempted
to impale the Ex-Justice who backed
to the middle OF the street, all the
while swapping a bulldog pistol at
his advancing adversary. The weapon
refused to discharge, though four
cylinders were tried. A policeman
finally arrested the fighters for
disturbing the peace. Caulfeld
refused to enter charge of assault
to murder against Henley. After the
affray Henley was in a saloon illus
trating how he had snapped the pistol
when it went off, the bullet crashing
into the ceiling. Caulfield is now con-
fined to his bed from cuts on the head.

Miller, a tough citizen from Volcano,

few days ago, bringing with him
bright girl 10 years OF age, who he
claimed to be his wife. Yesterday he
attempted to place her in a house of
ill fame in this city, but from this
place she was temporarily rescued by
the police. A party Of indignant citi-
zens in disguise this evening waited

one as mortal man ever received be-
fore. He was then warned not to be
seen in the city after twenty-four

RAvENDEN, ARK, October A.
President Cleveland's train crossed
into Arkansas from Missouri this
morning while he and his party were
at breakfast. All were in excellent
spirits entering the South. The day
was bright and charming. After pass
ing Ozark mountain early in the morn
ing the train ran through sparsely
settled region, Offering little in the
way OF popular demonstrations.
SUCCESSFUL SCHEME.
HoxIE, Ark, October 14.-The
Presidents ride to-day was without
special note. The President had re-
ceived letter asking him to stop
the train at Marked Tree, and the
writer would give him a novel exhi-
bition in the way of wild west show.
President Cleveland was quite taken
up with the unique invitation and or
dered the train to be stopped at
Marked Tree, which proved to be a
wooden station house. No wild west
show appeared, but as the train
stopped the few countrymen had a
glimpse of the President, which they
probably would not have secured had
the letter not been written as a blind.
West Memphis was reached at 2:40
p. m.
INTERESTED SPECTATORS.
MEMPHIS, TENN, October 14.-The
largest throng of civilians ever gath
cred within the city limits welcomed
the President to the South. A dele
cation boarded the train as it reached
West Memphis and informally con-
veyed the greetings of the several
committees and invited the party on
board the steamer Kate Adams. The
vessel went about three miles up
stream to give the President an oppor-
tunity to see the works of improve
ment on the river and then returned.
When the President and Mrs. Cleve-
land were seated in the carriage the
multitude of people in their enthu-
siasm broke over all bounds carrying
away the colored militia guard and
following on behind the presidential
carriage.
A MISCELLANEOUS PROCESSION

negroes mixed up with the carriages,
but aside from the delay there was nc
harm done. The party was assigned
